What the hell, WWE?
What happened to WWE being TV-PG? Guys have been bleeding all over the place lately and everyone has turned against CM Punk and his crusade to rid the WWE of the unhealthy vices of drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Not to mention they’ve decided to go ahead and release the Jeff Hardy DVD after he was arrested on drug charges.
Last night’s episode of ECW, once again, made me cringe. Zack Ryder’s entrance music, Oh Radio, hit at the very beginning of the show and got me excited, but once Ryder got into the ring, I heard a line that I had never heard before in the song.
Gonna drink some beer tonight
Which leads me to once again ask…what the hell, WWE? Have you forgotten that your largest group of consumers are kids? What kind of a message does that send to them to say that drinking is cool and being straight edge means you’re a nerd?
Are you trying to go back to the Attitude Era and just not give a damn about anything? Are you trying to make boobs and beer the norm again? I wasn’t around for the Attitude Era because my parents felt that it wasn’t a good thing for me to be watching and I’m really thankful they did that for me. Who knows what kind of impact that would have had on me. I know that if I had children, I wouldn’t let them watch that kind of junk.
Granted, me being a college student and (legally, even though I don’t usually act like one) an adult, I’m not personally afraid of watching this reborn WWE that condones drinking again but it does make me uncomfortable knowing that a lot of kids out there are watching crap like this…maybe I should pull a Punk and post a blog telling parents that they’re not doing their job by letting kids watch this crap.
